Comment on Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them

  What chached login? This is talking about a fresh install on a clean (or wiped clean) drive.

  Where would this be cached on a brand new PC never connected to the internet?

    Ah, I misunderstood. If there’s no Internet, pretty sure it’ll just default to using local. I’m not 100% certain, though, as I’ve not setup a totally offline install in a long time.

      Yeah that has been entirely removed in the Win 11 startup. It does not default to local account.

      You literally have to disconnect internet, open a console window, type in oobe/bypassnro and then reboot. Only then will it default to a local account.

        Yikes, that’s ridiculous. Microsoft incompetence and greed at its finest.
